I dig Scraped

From what Axl said he’d always intended it to be a double album and was talked out of it. When he spoke to Loader in the late 90s in that phone interview he talked up a bunch of songs. Without Bucket there were at least 20 songs. If we include Dtune, Curly, Elvis, Devious Bastard, and whatever interludes between songs that’s a solid double album

I’ve tried, the hoarders won’t deal

CD should have been a double album like he intended.
General is my favorite but what impresses me about Monsters is that it pretty seamlessly weaves 3-4 different genres of music together. Really impressive. Funny, these are exactly what I pictured them sounding like

Me too.
I love the "rant" part of monsters in scream voice, but there's not a lot of song to go with it - just kinda a little bit of a rap chorus. I mean I like it but it gets old quick waiting for that part each listen. I think the high parts of The General are more haunting. It's funny too as on first listen the general didn't really work for me, but now I really like it.
I think it needed a "breakdown" or "locomotive" style outro though. Like slash seems to be warming up to something right when it ends.
I love the scream/solo bit, that's dead good. Though I do wish that Axl had written a second verse with different lyrics instead of doing his "just repeat the first verse and chorus twice, whack in a solo, job's a good 'un" thing. He's done that on a couple of recent songs.
Monsters might be by favorite Axl rap

Hoarders won’t deal if they think you’re gonna mass leak.
The chairman stuff was great, good teamwork on all fronts. You just have to know what to expect from dark. He will play you if he senses it being beneficial, including bluffing what he has. And you know what? It worked. I like dark, but there’s no sense going after him when we know how he operates.

Hopefully it wasn’t just elephant sounds. He had some killer solos like with Tonto, and others were just absent any kind of real solo. Really odd

I’d say Devious Bastard might predate him and he jumped on it, but not sure. Would love to hear a mashup mix with Dummy and Inside Out
I read that Prom Violence, together with shankler and D Tune were combined into shacklers, so I would guess those three are BH songs
Prom violence was pretty clearly used in Shacklers. This is the first I’ve heard of DTune. Not sure I hear that

No disappointment will ever match Dave’s disappointment over Prostitute
